Transaction Status

| Settled | Transaction has settled and positions have been updated |
| Failed | Transaction failed to settle (requires investigation) |
| Cancelled | Transaction was cancelled before settlement |
Impact on Positions
When a transaction is marked as Settled, Point automatically updates the portfolio's positions:
- Buy → increases the position quantity
- Sell → decreases the position quantity
- Transfer In → adds the position to the receiving portfolio
- Transfer Out → removes the position from the sending portfolio
If a transaction is cancelled after settling, Point creates a reversing entry to maintain the audit trail.
